Simpson ("as Jernigan The Security Man"), Robert Vaughn ("as Parker The Senator"), and Robert Wagner ("as Bigelow The Publicity Man"). Note that this movie was originally two competing productions from two different studios, Warner Bros. and 20th Century-Fox (based on two similar books, "The Tower" by Richard Martin Stern, and "The Glass Inferno" by Thomas N. Scortia), and the studios wisely chose to instead collaborate on a single movie, which resulted in a pretty amazing all-star cast, and one of the very best movies of its kind!

Important Added Info: Note that this cool Dutch presskit contains 9 U.S. stills, but they are "Can/US" (they are identical to the U.S. ones except they have one very tiny line of French type at the bottom, which reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE"). It also has two supplements entirely in English, but with Dutch information at the bottom of the front of each, and it also contains an empty Towering Inferno pack of matches with all Dutch writing on it, and two borderless 5" x 7" stills of unknown origin! Note that we have taken a picture of the cover of the presskit and all of the stills. Condition: very good to fine. The stills are in nice condition as are the supplements. The matchbook is only in "good" condition and the cover has some stains at the bottom of the front. Learn More about condition grades
